Press Releases

Initial Press Release
Electronic Arts today announced that Burnoutâ„˘ 5 is in development for
the PlayStationÂ®3 computer entertainment system and Xbox 360â„˘ video
game system from MicrosoftÂ®.

Burnout 5 gives players license to wreak havoc in Paradise
City, the ultimate seamless racing battleground, with a massive
infrastructure of traffic-heavy roads to abuse. Gone is the need to
jump in and out of menus and aimlessly search for fun like many open
world games; in Burnout 5, every inch of the world is built to deliver
heart-stopping Burnout-style gameplay. Every intersection is a
potential crash junction and every alleyway is an opportunity to rack
up moving violations.

Of course, rules are made to be broken, and when gamers enter
Paradise City, theyâ€™re assigned a Drivers License that quickly begins
to amass a record of playerâ€™s most aggressive, reckless and destructive
exploits behind the wheel. But itâ€™s not the law that's eyeing player's
progress â€¦ when gamers push things too hard theyâ€™ll be squaring off
against the cityâ€™s most infamous burners, and these legends arenâ€™t
interested in who crosses the finish line first.

â€śBurnout 5 is a complete reinvention of the series, built from
the ground up for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360,â€ť said Alex Ward,
director of game design at Criterion Games. â€śTo create truly
next-generation gameplay, we needed to create a truly next-generation
game, from top to bottom.â€ť

Burnout 5 also delivers the next level of speed and
destruction, with brand new next-generation technology allowing gamers
to literally rip their cars in half, in the most explosive pile-ups in
the series' history.

Burnout 5 will ship in 2007 under the EAâ„˘ brand and was developed by Criterion Games in Guildford, UK.
